PREFACE. 


THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a list of 
the Specimens received by the Museum or described by 
Naturalists since the publication of the former Parts. The 
letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now 
contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and 
the mode in which each of them was obtained ; the absence 
of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata 


for the Entomological collection.
